Poem- Search for worldly Independence 

Part 1 

1.If you can keep your heart pure( by the will of Allah), 

whether all those around you have lost purity of heart, are jealous, hateful or ever blaming and plotting against you 

2. If you can trust in Allah alone, when the insan are in doubt about your intentions, 

make self- introspection and selfaccountability for their criticism against you: 

3. If you can wait and never tire, 

be constantly and continuously lied lied about, but don’t allow your self to be doubtful of your One and Only Creator( Allah), nor follow your own desires 

Part 2 

4. Never to be haughty or proud, 

nor to look down on anyone,  

5. because no creation( of Allah) controls the states of the hearts( except Allah Alone), 

as to whether and when their Imaan  

( in Allah) completely depletes,  

6. nor whether there Imaan is complete according to the dictates of Orthodox Islaam, 

and issues concerning it’s fall and rise 

Part 3 

7. If you can have ‘Uloow  

Himma( High positive ambitions) seeking assistance, refuge and rescue in Allah, Our only Rabb and  

Master 

8. If you can remain steadfast upon following the correct righteous path 

whilst the truth of your speech and actions are spun by your enemy, into an infinite web of lies, 

9. Inorder to depict you as one of low calibre, 

a simpleton, and at best; naive, incompetent and foolish 

Part 4 

10. if you can permanently forego the pleasures of this temporary worldly abode, 

and avoid entering the never-ending illusions of it’s deception 

11. whether one is despised, rejected and abandoned by all Creation, 

always be one of good intentions, a positive heart, cheerful face, resilient and most especially sincere( to  

Allah), and truthful 

12. bare all trials and calamities witha beautiful patience, 

remaining in a constant state of contentment and thankfulness to  

Our Creator( Allah)  

Part 5( Conclusion) 

13. If you can fill an uncountable  

moment 

with eternal shukr/ thankfulness to your Creator( Allah)- by His permission 

14. Yours is at minimum, 10 times the  dunia, and everything in it( by the mercy forgiveness and permission of Allah) 

The crux of the matter being that— mankind and Jinn were created for no other purpose than to worship Al  

Jabbaal, The Subduer( Allah) Alone 

May Allah guide us all Ameen 

All praises be to Allah and salutations and peace be upon the  

Prophet Muhammad, His Family, His Companions and all those that follow him until the day of Judgement 

Bonus Chapter 

Spiritual Levitation 1: The Other side of Abstemiousness 

1. Face your fears, and pray to Allah always 

2. You can never attain true success  

(i.e. in this world and the next life), until you worship Allah correctly and seek His assistance continuously/ continually 

3. If you choose a life of worshipping Allah in all that you do in your life, then( by His will), all that you desire will come to you submissively. 

4. Every time you feel like giving up, turn back to Allah( whole heartedly) 

5. Concentrate on bettering yourself. The general rule of thumb is that the better you are, the more those around you get affected positively. 

6. Keep on being patient, and never stop being patient, until your soul exists the collarbone. 

7. In patience, there is wisdom from  

Allah. He is showing you that He is  

The One that controls everything 

8. Modern day monks(and practitioners of abstemiousness) can sometimes be found in cities and towns. 

9. The more you practice  

Zuhd( Orthodox Islamic Abstemiousness), the more your heart lets go of the world. Then the more the world clings on to you( metaphorically speaking) 

FINAL PRAYER 

All Praises abundant and plentiful belong to Allah, and peace be upon his final Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, his family, his companions and all of those that follow them till the day of Judgement.

‘Uboodiyyah: Beyond Temporary Friendship 

All praises be to Allah and salutations and peace be upon the  

Prophet Muhammad, His Family, His Companions and all those that follow him until the day of Judgement 

To proceed 

1. If you don’t let go to worldly love, you’ll never know which relationship is meant to be permanent, and which was meant to be temporary; for the good of yourself. 

Take the example of Prophet Ibrahim(upon him be peace and Salaam): 

The important thing( wa Allahu  

A’laam/ and Allah knows best) is that Allah wanted  

Ibrahim( ‘aleihimussalaatu wa salaam/ upon him be peace and Salaam) to sacrifice the love of his son from his own heart. 

Like the story of the 2 sons of Adam; Allah wanted to see who would part from the dunia/worldly life from their hearts( wa Allahu A’laam/ and Allah knows best), by giving their best possessions i.e. the crops 

Allah is Assamad(He is in need of noone/nothing, but all are in need of him). 

So the conclusion is that Allah wants us to go to Him with Qalbun Salim(a pure heart). 

May Allah allow us to live and die with Qalbun saliim(a pure heart) 

May Allah guide us all  

Ameen 

Bonus Chapter 3 

Spiritual Levitation 2: The Other Side of Abstemiousness/ Zuhd 

All praises be to Allah and salutations and peace be upon the  

Prophet Muhammad, His Family, His Companions and all those that follow him until the day of Judgement 

To proceed 

1. Never let go of your( correct) religious principles 

2. The enemies surrounding you( i.e.Shaitan/ satan and dunia/ the seeming glitter of the world) (and within you, (i.e. your hawa/ desires and nafs/ your lower self) are always ready to launch attacks. Be vigilant(i.e. by supplicating to Allah always), be informed(i.e. seek knowledge) and be ready( for the ongoing spiritual battle/ warfare) and on guard( by beseeching Allah’s assistance, refuge and rescue) 

3. Sometimes you have to let go of certain things, for a new chapter if your life to begin 

4. Whatever is with Allah( by His protection)/ Everything that is with  

Allah( by His protection) is never lost 

5. It is at that breaking point, when you literally( and metaphorically) feel that you are fast-approaching rock bottom( or anguish is about to set in); that is the time to supplicate for all the good that you wish for. Then wait for the miracles that shall follow( only by the will of Allah) 

6. Always ask for Allah’s bounties/ favours upon you( , whether you hear the cockerel crow or not)
